I was out this afternoon. Took a seizure out of pain. This can happen. NIAS showed up and later on accused me of faking the seizure as it didn't last more than a minute. I was only sent home from a second stay in hospital 2 weeks ago with inflammation of the pancreas (PANCREATITIS) and alongside a rise in my LFTS and enlarged bile duct which are still being looked into.
I was made to feel like I was making this up and was told to go, because if I went to hospital there would be a lengthy wait and I’d be sent home anyway, something that I feel paramedics shouldn’t say. I was also accused of not taking my regular medication for seizures, which I’m not on due to the fact that taking epilepsy medication can be harmful to non-epileptics. This was decided by a neurologist.
I’m sick of being accused of faking seizures. This has to stop. I feel like I’m being harassed by some people for things that are out of my control.
